Common Toilet Problems

If you have a noisy toilet, you'll likely hear abrasive sounds soon after you flush, as your tank fills up with water. It's possible that the mere repair or replacement of your toilet's fill valve will fix this problem, since the part may well be the source of the unbearable toilet noise.

A running toilet is also a typical dilemma, one which can waste hundreds of gallons of water in a 24-hour span. If your toilet is running, your fill valve may also be making some noise, but it's not the root of the problem. This valve is only doing its job by filling your tank, but it can't, probably because your flapper is failing to do its job. A defective flapper can make your toilet leak continuously, and often lead to bathroom flooding or non-stop flushing.

Another problem you may encounter is unpleasant toilet odor. If your toilet smells like sewage, then you can be sure that it's not just there because someone forgot to flush. Your smelly toilet may be a result of an opening in your pipes, a defective wax ring, or not having enough water in your bowl. The solutions for this problem range from simple maintenance to full-scale toilet replacement.

Of all potential toilet problems, a backed up toilet may be the worst you can possibly have. Toilet clogs are caused by a build-up of waste in the pipes, and require thorough pipe cleaning. If you're faced with a clogged toilet, fix the problem immediately. Otherwise your toilet won't flush, and you may even experience bathroom flooding.

Q: Why is the water level in my toilet bowl lower than I see in many other toilets?

A: If you have one of the newer 1.6 toilets, many are designed to have a very small amount of water left in a bowl after the toilet is flushed. There is nothing you can do about this. The amount of water in these bowls is determined by the shape of the bowl. However, a low water level in a bowl can also be caused if the toilet is not properly vented, or the vent is clogged. Poor venting can create a vacuum in the system when a toilet is flushed and too much water will be sucked out of the bowl. A Carrollton clogged toilet vent requires running a snake down through the vent pipe from the roof. Climbing around on a roof is tricky and best left to the professionals at Carrollton Plumbing Pro who have the proper equipment and experience.

Q: I have some stains around the base of my toilet. What is causing this?

A: Stains or moisture at the base of the toilet bowl indicate that the joint or seal between the toilet and its outlet has failed and should be reset immediately. This will prevent rotting of the floor, damage to the ceiling below and possible leakage of sewer gas into the home.

Q: What are dual flush toilets?

A: A dual flush toilet gives you two flush options. The low flow option is used when there is little waste in the toilet while the high flow flush is used when additional water is needed to remove the waste. Over the life of the toilet, it can save as much as 50% on water consumption. This is great for both you and the environment.

Q: Is it safe to use a plunger to clear a stopped toilet?

A: Generally, Yes. You can use a plunger if it clears quickly without aggressive pressure. Plunging can cause damage to your toilet seal and pipe with too much force. If your toilet regularly becomes stopped or does not clear with a simple plunge then there are other problems that may require professional Carrollton plumbing attention.

Q: What is a toilet auger?

A: It's a special tool that has an offset hand crank, a long sleeve handle and a special auger bit at the end to break through a clog or retrieve an obstruction like a rag. The auger bit is connected via a flexible shaft to a crank handle that you control. Its reach is about 3 feet. This tool is reasonably priced and a good addition to the home repair person in a house with small children that like to throw things into the toilet.
